Just checking to see how everybody from down here did, considering our double-punch from Bonnie and Charley and (God help us) possibly even Danielle, especially since I know we have several folks in Orlando and Daytona.

As for me, Ocala didn't even get a respectable rain. We got a drizzle. No wind, no strong rain, no nothin'. We were all sittin' here wondering what all the fuss was about. My grandmother's old house down in Orlando (right off Conway) got totaled though.

Down in Ft. Lauderdale/Miami Area... Got a steady 25mph wind yesterday and a few showers but thats all. Family in Cocoa Beach that we haven't been able to get in touch with yet though So we are just crossing fingers hoping everything is okay with them up there and that they'll call us soon to let us know they're alive so we can stop worrying.

Hope you are all OK. We are getting flooding problems in South West England, Scotland and Wales from degraded tropical storms that track back over the Atlantic from you. If i see any bits of airplanes with an "N" registration or race cars after the next bout of storms, who should I post it back to?
